• 摘要: 在传统成像系统设计中,光学透镜往往以传递函数和视场FOV (field of view)等为目标进行人工优化及调制,这通常会导致复杂的镜头堆积。为了简化成像系统,本文基于光学成像原理,运用改进的遗传算法,提出一种端对端协同设计方法,设计一种具有高质量40°大视场的单透镜成像系统。该方法对不同视场下的单透镜成像模糊核PSF (point spread function)进行数值优化,不仅有效抑制了焦斑旁瓣能量和背景杂散光,还使各视场的PSF趋于一致,改变了因不同视场PSF空间变化导致的图像复原不均匀问题。同时,该方法能够很好地校正大视场角引发的像散、场曲等初级像差。最后,使用优化后的单透镜系统对灰度图像进行实时成像,并通过维纳逆卷积复原。大量对比测试显示,相较于传统的非球面单透镜,本文方法所构建的单透镜系统在40°的视场角下,峰值信噪比(peak signal to noise ratio, PSNR)和结构相似性指数(structural similarity index measure, SSIM)分别提高11%和15%,对于成像质量的提升程度也稳定在(11±3)%左右。该方法可应用于无人机监控、公安侦察、智能监控等可见光/红外民用光电成像设备的镜头设计。

       

      Abstract: In traditional imaging system design, optical lenses are typically optimized for artificial optimization objectives such as modulation transfer function (MTF) and field of view (FOV), resulting in structurally complex multi-element configurations. To simplify the imaging system, we propose an end-to-end collaborative design method based on optical imaging principles and use an improved genetic algorithm to design a single lens imaging system with a high-quality 40° wide-FOV. The proposed approach systematically optimizes the single lens imaging blur kernel under different FOVs, achieving: 1) Effective suppression of focal spot sidelobe energy; 2) Background stray light; 3) Improved blur kernel consistency. This significantly mitigates the non-uniform image restoration caused by spatial variations in blur kernels across different FOVs. At the same time, this method can effectively correct primary aberrations such as astigmatism and field curvature caused by large field angles. Finally, the optimized single lens system is used for real-time imaging of grayscale images and is restored through Wiener inverse filtering. A large number of comparative tests have shown that compared to traditional non spherical single lens systems, the single lens system constructed by our method improves the image quality evaluation indicators: peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index measure (SSIM) by 11% and 15% respectively at a field of view angle of 40°, and the degree of improvement in imaging quality remains stable at around (11±3)%. This methodology can be applied to the lens design process of visible light/infrared military and civilian optoelectronic imaging equipment such as unmanned aerial vehicle monitoring, public security reconnaissance, and intelligent monitoring.
